123 – Regita – 5
I had expected it from the beginning.
However, that ‘to some extent’ was a possibility that I tried to rule out because it was talking about an extremely rare amount.
Lyla. A commoner, but a mage who was invited to Ruikiran because of his excellent skills.
Originally, it was an NPC that didn’t even exist in my memory because it shouldn’t have had any importance at all, but now it’s a wizard who has become a great wizard and has come all the way here.
“That part was wrong.”
Why didn’t I think of that?
It would have been different if I had thought that the character ‘Layla’ did not exist from the beginning, rather than passing it off as if I did not know her.
“You are not Lyla.”
I said, facing the orange-haired girl who introduced herself as Lila.
“Yes. Did you notice? The name Layla may be a lie, but… Still, it was quite true that she was from a lower caste.”
The girl smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
“The human world and the lower classes are thoroughly rejected for reasons of class… being ignored… It’s not different. That’s why things like this happen.”
“Aha.”
Now I seemed to know.
What is the identity of this absurd guy, and what is he trying to do?
I started walking toward her. First of all, it was going to fold the distance a little.
However, from the other side, he firmly fixed his expression.
“Do you think it would be better to stop there? It’s because I don’t really want the distance to get closer.”
“Then stop it.”
As soon as I muttered that, a barrier was placed in the aisle, blocking my entry so that I could no longer go forward.
And that barrier was not human, but demonic.
“The barrier of black magic. I don’t know how much I polished this one. It’s going to be hard to break through, no matter what.”
Her self-confidence, which seemed to have been polished a lot, was not false. Red barriers began to form in front of my eyes in double or triple layers.
I stared at the guy beyond the barrier, where the red aura of black magic was weak.
“You still have great skills. Ruin.”
I called her name. I talked like it was her old acquaintance, but of course it’s the first time I’m facing her.
However, it was not difficult to find out what kind of person she was and what kind of activities she showed.
“Thank you for your compliment. Thank you even more for remembering my name.”
“What are you going to do now?”
“I’m thinking of blowing up this entire social club. If nothing is left, wouldn’t that be a peaceful solution in its own way? Discrimination is disgusting now.”
The eyes of the girl who had been appealing so much were already dyed red. But apparently human blue eyes also existed, which is —
It’s because she’s a half-race demon. Surprisingly, there was a being born between a human and a demon, and that was Ruin.
She is a person who has been imprisoned in the demon realm for a very long time just because she is of mixed blood, so… A person who was imprisoned even while the Christine family members were imprisoned.
She tried to live a new life in the human world after she was exiled from the demon realm after completing her sentence, but even that didn’t work out.
Even on the human side, her ability as a ‘commoner’ is thoroughly ignored, and she only receives envy and jealousy from those around her.
As it was originally, she couldn’t overcome her resentment and began to terrorize various magical academia… I wasn’t going to let her act like that.
“Make commoners students into bombs themselves, and with the explosions kill nobles. Why would a commoner student be put in danger?”
“Noble wizards won’t deal with traps other than this. It is an inevitable sacrifice.”
“Sacrifice. Is this such a great thing?”
“At least I am determined. The resolution to the extent that it is okay to become a bomb yourself.”
Ruin smiled bitterly.
Why wasn’t the ‘bad ending’ mentioned in this turning point alarm? All of that was understood.
The reason for this was that perhaps this terror itself had an aspect of ‘helping’ the main characters’ future paths.
The protagonist of this world is Charlotte Forte. Commons. What if the wizards who would later stand in her way were killed en masse in a terrorist attack?
As high-ranking mages die, the academy urgently needs to train high-ranking mages, and what if they turn to the failing class as students to invest in?
What if I, DeMerry, and Regita die right here?
At the same time that many high-ranking officials of the underworld die, the main characters of this world survive.
That’s why the main scenario didn’t mention the ‘bad ending’ to me.
But I have no intention of accepting this lightly. She is literally mixed race. She also has a human side.
If things go well, he will be a great helper.
“They listen only when several people die. It can’t be helped. Ruikiran will be abolished as of today.”
“I heard that access is controlled, but did you do that?”
“Yes. Of course I did. Not black magic, just magic.”
A talented person who can handle both dark magic and human magic. However, she was choosing to become a disaster herself.
“If you really want to let go of that anger, you should do it to the Demon Realm. Is there any reason for this?”
“I will also solve it in the demon realm. I just solve it in the human world first.”
Ruikiran is a place where a lot of mana is concentrated. If such a place suddenly gets caught in a terrorist attack and explodes…
The disastrous results can be easily predicted.
Things worthy of the word disaster will happen.
“Maybe you will get caught up in it and die too.”
“I told you earlier that I was prepared for that.”
Ruin continued with a bitter smile.
“And most of all, it’s not something Jekiel-sama should worry about. No matter what happens to me.”
Worry.
She might be right if she was only concerned about her. She may not have anything to worry about.
But now I was in a position to worry about this world.
“Doing something like this makes any difference. Do you think discrimination will disappear?”
Again, Ruin nodded her head.
“If it doesn’t disappear, it will fade. If someone who used to discriminate can be afraid of discrimination, I’m satisfied with that alone. A latecomer will do the rest.”
Perhaps this was the point.
She doesn’t have a big cause or anything.
She just wants to return this long pain, this long anger. Whether she became a human or a demon.
She
She wanted to return everything, and she chose a way to return everything.
Ruin undid some of the top buttons on her shirt. Then she exposes her upper chest. Inside her upper chest, something red was beating urgently.
“I have already finished my preparations. If things go wrong, I’ll become a huge explosion itself and devour this place. It’s going to be hard for anyone here to stop this explosion. Because… “
Ruin’s expression was confident. However, it was sad.
“…This is a curse that is said to be the power of the demon lord.”
“That’s how I applied it.”
When the demon king executed the demon tribe, his heart exploded, and he applied it to disfigure his body like a bomb.
Wonderful and also wonderful. It’s just a pity that I’m trying to use it in these fields.
“…Cancel it now.”
“It is a force that even I cannot cancel. There is no turning back.”
I put my hand on the barrier and poured my life force into it. Then, the barrier swayed.
“I said no one can stop it, but that’s not necessarily true. I will break the barrier and subdue you.”
But Fang! There is a sound and the barrier becomes even tighter.
“The prison of the Demon Realm… It’s cold and dark. It is a space designed to confine any being in the demon realm. Really cold… Cold… It’s so cold… I’m hungry… “
Ruin’s voice was very bitter. The anger was squeezed in.
“…It’s a barrier created based on the way there was. No matter how sinful it is, it is difficult to break through this barrier.”
I said calmly as I tried to read the circuit through life force.
“It doesn’t make any sense. It will just be remembered as a disaster, and rather, there may be more discrimination due to you. Coincidentally, you will earn the resentment of people in the same class as you.”
“I don’t know. I don’t know.”
“What you need is salvation, not revenge.”
“Salvation.”
Ruin sighed and laughed.
“Who the hell can save me? Even now? I do not need it. Even if it is possible.”
I looked at the guy across the barrier with a rather serious face.
It consumes a lot of vitality to the point of being ignorant, but despite this, he is gradually reading the barrier.
“No, it is necessary.”
I just muttered that confidently.
Feck I caught up 🥲
